Jones + for Giordano +

Keep your players - they are the best two players in the deal. Giordano has been impressive in the past but 1) he is being surpassed on his teams depth chart (by D.Hamilton and T.J Brodie) 2) He is in the last few years of serviceable play - he'll be 34 next season.
You're getting back Giordano and who? Danault got lucky with playing time, linemates and such, I'm not saying he is/was without talent but he overachieved and is being sold on the 'high'.

HOLD UP!
I thought that you were talking about Seth Jones when I wrote all of that and then saw M.Jones on your R list (reserves?) and not listed as one of your starting goalies.
If this is for Martin Jones - I don't see how we're still talking about this. The return for a starting goalie on a good team should be fairly substantial and not for an aging, declining d-man competing with 2 others on his team for playing time. Throwing in a player that overachieved and a half decent draft pick wouldn't be enough to change things around for me. I'd hazard a guess that this guy is trying to take advantage of you.
Step away from this deal altogether - I don't see how it could be that much better for you if this is his starting point.
